Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 11th of July.

San Bernadino, a city of 210,000, just filed for chapter 9 bankruptcy on Tuesday. If you are keeping score, that is 3 cities in a row in just as many weeks that have filed for bankruptcy. Do you think there are going to be more in the coming weeks and months?

Remember Denise Rich? She is the same lady who was married to Marc Rich, who was once a tax fugitive. She is the one who donated a boat load of money to President Clinton, who then pardoned her ex-husband. Well, it looks like she just renounced her American citizenship for family (tax?) reasons... If we keep banging on the wealthy folks in America, pretty soon we won't have any left to support the politicians.

Score one for Spain. However, this short-term Spanish victory did not get Spain or Europe off the hook by a long shot. There's still much to be done and somewhere along the line someone has to bite the bullet.

China also appears to be slowing down dramatically and that could further exacerbate the contagion effect, not just for China but the entire world economy. This week could mark the most important week for the stock market. We are not convinced that the German courts or the public will okay the current new bailout fund. Stay tuned, as it's going to get very interesting. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: This week could set the tone of the markets for the year!" →

Morning Commentary for the Precious Metals

Posted on by The INO.com Team

August gold closed higher due to short covering on Monday as it consolidated some of last Friday's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Tuesday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If August renews the decline off June's high, May's low crossing at 1529.30 is the next downside target. If August renews the rally off June's low, June's high crossing at 1642.40 is the next upside target. First resistance is June's high crossing at 1642.40. Second resistance is reaction high crossing at 1674.30. First support is June's low crossing at 1547.60. Second support is May's low crossing at 1529.30.

That usually makes its price action a good indicator of the state of the global economy.

The chart below illustrates the degree to which copper follows economic health – as opposed to gold, which is a traditionally a contra-cyclical commodity. Have a look. Continue reading "How Is Dr. Copper Feeling?" →
